As a 70s kid, I always liked the Sheridan. I liked tanks in general.

My dad was a TC on 48s I think. He wasn’t wild about them. Probably a generation thing.

The only real one I can remember seeing was a display at the former location of the Charlotte Air Museum.

It was made specifically for jungle warfare in the Far East. It only weighed 17 tons and could be parachuted down from a transport plane.

It had a beehive round that when shot towards the forest at the end of a clearing, turned snipers in the trees into Swiss cheese.

Dangerous if tried, but just the same it had a great top speed on a paved road. Take off the speed govenor and it could go up to 50 miles an hours.
